newbie response: maybe shoot a set on each step setting, also adjust your shutter speeds, use the same speed settings for 0.3 and 0.7 "sets" then adjust speeds and shoot 2 more sets of threes, do that a few times maybe? will have more images to asses the results with, and to work with?

thanks sean. what do u suppose is the the best speed & aperture to use if i have a clear view of the full moon?

Thats the part I don't have worked out yet myself LOL man I feel so stupid here at times, but it is fun to learn, just got to do it till you get it right, and then practice, practice, and ask Don for advice!

+/- 0.3 EV or +/- 0.7 EV is just not enough and that's one of the main reasons why SONY
created the version-4 software for the A700. Also, that's why I tried it out. Just to see. Works for me.

Remember: the moon is moving fast and if you do not get these three exposures (-EV, EV, +EV) in under one
second, you may encounter blur when you try to create/reconcile your HDR-image.
